Minority Leader Bill Cadman[4], R-Colorado Springs, said when the sprinkles fell off his confection he jokingly scooped them up and threw them at two Democrats, Majority Leader John Morse of Colorado Springs and Senate President Brandon Shaffer of Longmont.

“Glitter bomb!” Cadman said at the time, although later he described it as a sugar bomb.

Glitter bombing[5] — throwing glitter on someone at a public event — is an act of protest and the targets often are opposed to same-sex marriage.
